What do you mean by what your predecessors say? What can this wild forest have to do with a small bottle of nameless wine?"

Hearing Xiyue's words, Chen Ping couldn't help but sit up straight.

"At this time, it is a matter of the secret of this seat, and it can even be said that it is a matter of the life of this seat, and it is also a matter of this ethereal continent, you promise to go to this seat and tell you later." Xiyue didn't say it directly.

It's a matter of safety, Chen Ping doesn't give an inch:

"My predecessor told me first, and then I decided to go?"

Xiyue: ......

She looked at Chen Ping, no longer mentioned the matter, but asked:

"Where have you traveled on this trip?"

This Xiyue Fairy thinks very out of the box.

Q: What does this do?

What are you scheming about?

But it's not much of a confidential piece of information, and it doesn't hurt to say it directly.

"Most of the West Continent." Chen Ping said vaguely.

"Oh." Fairy Xiyue's voice was slightly long:

"Xizhou, in the Ethereal Continent, it is a corner of Pian Yu, the land of projectiles."

"Compared to the human world, this ethereal continent may not be as brilliant as well, and there may be all kinds of places outside, don't you want to know about it?"

"Yes." Chen Pingdao.

"Maybe you will know it when you go to the Wild Forest, there are many secrets in the Wild Forest. Do you want to go?"

"No, no." Chen Ping was categorical.

'Thinking' and 'acting' are two different things.

If you just listen, the more the merrier. But if you want to know this information by yourself, then your own cultivation is not enough now, and there is no need to take risks.

Xiyue does not give up:

"The wild forests are vast and boundless, but inaccessible? Not even a sect was founded there. Do you want to know why?"

"Yes."

"Go?"

"No, no."

Xiyue: .......

"If you accidentally return to the Dao during the Dan process, do you want the most powerful true monarch in the entire Western Continent to protect your Dharma?"

"Yes."

"Go?"

"No, no."

"It's too much." The Xiyue Fairy straightened up all of a sudden, and glared angrily:

"I want to do that, I want to think about that. I don't want to contribute, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"This seat told you that Yu Lingchun's talent is extremely difficult to build a foundation successfully, and this seat basically provides the best conditions on the ninth peak to help her build a foundation successfully. If you don't agree, this seat will send her back to the Qi refining period."

Chen Ping: ......

Not again.

"Senior, Yu Lingchun is my mother, but she is also the apprentice of her predecessor, and her predecessor can't use this to threaten her juniors at every turn. Besides, if you and I want to cooperate, we must at least be open and honest, right?"

"Is it unreasonable for the seniors to hide everything and let the juniors go to an extremely dangerous place? The seniors themselves said - 'I want to do this, I want to think about that.' Don't want to contribute, there is such a good thing in the world? ,, Isn't this too disrespectful to the juniors?"

"At least tell the juniors why? What are you going to do? What to experience? Right?"

Fairy Xiyue was stunned.

looked at Chen Ping, his mind fluctuated, and he was calm after all.

Chen Ping struck while the iron was hot:

"Besides, with the cultivation of the seniors, it is not easy to take the younger ones to the savage forest? But what does it mean that the predecessors did not do this? It shows that the predecessors are high-spirited, open-minded, broad-minded, and do not convince people with force, but with reason. In that case, the seniors can at least treat the juniors as equals in this matter, right?"

Fairy Xiyue was stunned again.

After a moment of calm, he finally sighed and said:

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that there are some things that are not good for you and will even affect your state of mind for cultivation."

"But you are

However, if you have to find out why, you can also briefly mention it."

"On this ethereal continent, in addition to the human race, there are also demon races, demon cultivators, Heluo, and countless ghosts. But there has never been a demon, do you know why?"

Without waiting for Chen Ping to answer, she continued:

"Because in ancient times, after the human race defeated the demon race together, they used the demon ancestor as a medium tool, refined it and divided it and imprisoned it, trapped in various parts of the human world, so as to block the passage from the demon world to the human world. And this confinement requires the primordial infant and even the primordial spirit of the god cultivator to make offerings."

"This seat is one of the monks who offer to the primordial gods today."

"The process of making offerings is extremely harmful to the monk's spirit, so there are cases of returning to the Tao, and this seat is quite lucky. But a big reduction in longevity is almost a must."

"It just so happens that your nameless wine has a good effect on the primordial nourishment of the primordial infant. This is the reason why this seat is willing to save Yu Lingchun's apprentice in exchange for your spirit wine, otherwise do you think this seat really likes to drink so much?"

A small sip of spirit wine can achieve the goal in ten days, and no matter how much it is, it is useless.

... but you drink it every day.

You're too embarrassed to make excuses.

However, this passage had a big impact on Chen Ping.

It doesn't matter whether Fairy Xiyue really likes to drink or not, but this layer of secret behind it is really something Chen Ping didn't expect.

Unexpectedly, there is such a big historical entanglement between the human race and the demon race.

There has been no demon clan to appear because of the 'passage confinement.'

"In this continent, are the primordial babies one of the imprisoned offerings?" Chen Ping couldn't help but ask.

"No, just a few, there have to be some conditions. Some of them don't even know the story behind this." Xiyue shook her head.

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

That's fine.

If it were true, every Yuanying monk would not be able to escape that fate.

That wasn't a good thing for Chen Ping.

He is not as great as Xiyue, he just wants to be able to become an immortal, he can't manage other people's affairs, and he can't manage it, so he naturally doesn't want his Yuan Shen to be damaged and the immortal path is hopeless.

After a pause, he asked:

"Why do you have to sacrifice yourself to be imprisoned? There are quite a few high-ranking monks of the Terran race, right? It's a big deal, why not fight the demons directly?"

"One more fight?" Xiyue laughed miserably:

"If nothing else, do you know that there hasn't been a single ascended monk in this Ethereal Continent for thousands of years? Well, don't say that you have ascended to the Spirit Realm, even if you are a Divine Transformation Cultivator, this Ethereal Continent has not appeared for thousands of years."

"There is a lack of spiritual energy in the human world, and high-level monks are withering. And the demons are getting stronger and stronger. If you don't cut off the road from the demon world to the human world, the entire human world will only become a hunting ground for the demon race, and at that time, there will still be the sect of cultivation that you and I are now? That's the real dark hour for the Terrans."

Chen Ping was shocked when he heard this.

The information was too impactful for him.

Not to mention the fact that the demon race is powerful, but in the entire Ethereal Continent, there is not even a single god?

And no one has ascended for thousands of years?

Could it be that the path of cultivation in this life can only end in the realm of Yuan Ying?

It stands to reason that even if the aura in the human world is lacking, but the methods of high-level monks to gather spirits are unpredictable, it is still possible to lightly offer a few primordial infant gods, why not a single god?

Is it just because of a lack of spiritual power?

"Look, it affects your mood, right? I said that it is not something you can inquire about, you have to inquire." Xiyue Fairy felt that Chen Ping's mood fluctuated, glanced sideways, and said randomly:

"But don't worry too much, for you, it's all in the future, and who can say what will happen in a few hundred years."

"For you, a foundation-building monk, you don't need to care about these things at the moment, and you can't do much. On the contrary, what you need to do is to keep practicing and keep strengthening your wings, and when the storm really comes, you can still fly freely despite the wind and rain."

Chen Ping recovered from the shock.

Exhaled.

Xiyue is right, you can understand these things if you can understand them, but you don't need to worry too much about them.

None of these things were something he could control as a foundation-building monk.

Only when you become strong can you have unlimited possibilities.

Otherwise everything is empty talk.

"What does this have to do with inviting juniors to the Savage Forest?" Chen Ping pulled the topic back.

Xi Yue's jaw said:

"That Jian Nanchun, this seat was originally supposed to slowly nourish the spirit wine of the Yuan Shen, but over the years, I have found that the role of this Jian Nanchun has become more and more obvious, which shows that your winemaking level is improving."

"But progress is slow."

"Before you appeared, Honza had been searching for traces of the creator of the Nameless Wine for hundreds of years, and later discovered a possible place of its fall, in an ancient ruin in the Savage Forest."

"This seat will take you there, go to the scene to feel a thing or two, and explore the ruins there, maybe it can greatly increase your winemaking skills."

"That's why we invited you to come with me."

Finally, he said:

"I've told you all the secrets, are you satisfied?"

???

Exaggeration.

At most, you know that you are one of the monks who are imprisoned and offered by the passage.

Say all the secrets.

The exploration of the land where the great power has fallen, whether it is for the monk to break through the realm, or for the monk to break through the bottleneck when he encounters a pass in the practice of similar exercises, is an excellent path.

This is the reason why Xi Yue mentioned that going to the ruins to visit the enlightenment may greatly increase the brewing technique.

But for Chen Ping, he didn't have to go to any powerful fallen ruins at all.

As long as the liver goes down, Dzogchen will be a matter of time.

It's just that after the winemaking technique entered the 'Grandmaster', the nameless wine was enough for himself, and it was enough to deal with Xiyue, so he didn't spend any more time on the skill of liver.

But he couldn't tell Xiyue this.

You can't just say that you can greatly improve your sake brewing by not going to the ruins.

"If this wine is brewed to the extreme, can it save the lives of the predecessors? Will you make up for the lost longevity?" Chen Ping was a little puzzled.

"I can't." Fairy Xiyue affirmed:

"But it can minimize the loss and make up for the original spirit. As for making up for Shou Yuan,... From the moment I agreed to help confine the passage, I was prepared for the worst."

"Including sacrificing one's own immortal path?" Chen Ping looked at Xiyue.

Talking about it today, he is still a little impressed with Xiyue.

In fact, he himself is not the kind of person who can sacrifice himself for the sake of sentient beings, he came to this world to live forever, not to save others.

At most, his light can illuminate his daughter-in-law and the people closest to him.

I won't go and light the lights for others.

But that doesn't stop him from appreciating those who have the world in mind.

He didn't know if Fairy Xiyue was a person who cared about the world, but he was willing to consume his Yuan Shen to block the Demon Venerable, and he still admired this alone.

Seeing that Fairy Xiyue didn't speak, Chen Ping changed the topic:

"Actually, if you give the younger generations another few decades, or hundreds of years, maybe the younger generations themselves will be proficient in this art of winemaking, so why bother taking the risk?

"Difficult, more than 30 years have passed since you and I first traded, right? Your winemaking skills have improved, but not much. It's almost the same as giving you a thousand years, but not to mention whether you have this opportunity or not, this seat will at least not have a thousand years of life." Fairy Xiyue teased.

After a pause, Fairy Xiyue said seriously:

"The verbal threats against you before were considered abrupt by this seat, and I think this is my own business, and it is indeed unfair to impose it on you. Don't pay attention to what I've said."

"However, you can consider this proposal."

"In exchange, as long as you want

Take a ride. This seat promises to protect the Dharma for you when you are married, and to provide you with the liquid of the five elements that you need. Of course, if you want, this seat can also accept you as a registered disciple and not be subject to the control of the sect, but if you encounter a pass on the road of cultivation in the future, this seat can solve a question or two for you."

"This is a quid pro quo that this seat can provide, is there more?"

Chen Ping looked at the Xiyue Fairy.

Among these three conditions, the allure of Dharma protector and registered disciple status is average.

For example, the second one, even if you don't have the Xiyue Protector, you can ask Wei Sui for help.

It is fungible.

But.

The first 'Liquid of the Five Elements' is the treasure he can't ask for at the moment.

After traveling for 16 years, I have encountered the liquid of the five elements twice, and only won one bottle.

At present, there are still three kinds of Five Elements Liquid, and it is really not easy to get them.

Although Jin Dan can make up for it appropriately later, it is a last resort.

The best way is to make the golden pill sound when you tie the pill.

This condition is very attractive to him.

"The quid pro quo offered by the seniors is not unenticing. In fact, even if there is no quid pro quo, the seniors carefully teach Yu Lingchun's grace, and the juniors should go with the seniors."

"It's just a practice, it's never easy, the younger generations are trembling, everything is good and evil, just want to live a little longer. Therefore, if there is any offense before, please forgive me." Chen Ping was open and honest and sighed.

Then he probed:

"The junior wants to ask, I heard that the senior was injured in the wild forest before?"

Xiyue Fairy was originally a little inexplicably moved and moved by Chen Ping's open and honest words, but when she heard the last sentence, she almost broke the defense:

"What hurts? It was when the secret realm first appeared in the wild forest, and the secret realm space was completely unstable, but now that decades have passed, it has long been completely stable, and countless foundation building monks have gone there, let alone this seat?"

"Besides, this time we won't go to the secret realm, but to a site deep in the forest."

Fairy Xiyue scolded Yu Lingchun in her heart, thinking that she would say anything about herself.

Chen Ping thought for a moment, this should be true.

At the beginning, Bailiye also mentioned that the secret realm would be stable in more than ten years.

If Yuanying is present, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Seniors tell me the truth, are there many hostile forces in the seniors?" Chen Ping still said cautiously.

Hearing this, Fairy Xiyue said in a proud tone:

"Hostile forces? Are you kidding?"

"In the entire Western Wilderness, who is the opponent of this seat? The sect of the Tianyan Sect is also not suitable for the power of this seat's blow. Not to mention the Western Wilderness, even if it is the entire Western Continent, no one can stand me."

"When you go to the Savage Forest, you just need to stay by this seat all the time, and this seat will keep you safe."

This is so strong?

I underestimated her.

It seems that not everyone can be a monk who imprisons the passage.

"In that case, the juniors will go with the seniors." Chen Ping decided.

With Yuanying by his side, he can almost walk sideways in the Western Wilderness, and the task to perform is not too dangerous, he only needs to go to the ruins to comprehend the winemaking perception left by the great power, not to explore the secret realm.

Together, this deal can be done.

Worth.

"That's right, I know that you cherish your life, but you can't blindly avoid going out and adventuring, so what's there to worry about here? If you don't see the outside world, you can't grow your state of mind, and it's also not beneficial to your cultivation. It took you 16 years to realize this time, and it may not be without this reason." Xiyue said.

After speaking, she took out a token from her waist and threw it to Chen Pingdao:

"You take this token, if you go to Tianyan Sect in the future, you don't need to wait at the foot of the mountain, just go up the mountain."

"From now on, this seat will be your master."

After she said this, Chen Ping saw a cunning meaning in her eyes.

I don't know what she's up to the eye.

This woman may be setting a trap everywhere she speaks.

"By the way, your..." Now that they have become apprentices, of course, they have to extort more spirit wine.

"The spirit wine is gone." Chen Ping said decisively.

Xiyue: ......

Chen Ping took the opportunity to say:

"Xi... Master. You and I are masters and apprentices, and the apprentices are now in the critical period of attaining the Dan, so they should spend a lot of time on cultivation, and everything else should give way. Shouldn't the master think more about the apprentice? Master, can the spirit wine be served a few years later?"

Xiyue: "......"

"Besides, the master once said that a small sip for dozens of days is enough, and too much is not beneficial to cultivation, but it becomes alcoholism, which is not good. The master is a Xizhou... No, the first monk of the Ethereal Continent, alcoholism is a weakness, and if you have a weakness, you will be used and targeted. For the sake of the master's safety, the master should take a sip for more than ten days, and from now on, the apprentice will supervise it."

Xiyue: "......"

"Besides, if the master has just accepted the junior as an apprentice and asked the apprentice to step up the brewing, in the eyes of others, do you still think that the master is using the apprentice? Is Shizun such a person? Of course not, how can the master be such a person with such a high style and righteousness? If this is going to get out, won't it ruin the reputation of the Master?"

Xiyue: "....."

"Master, when will you leave?"

Fairy Xiyue didn't want to pay attention to Chen Ping, and always felt panicked.

It took several deep breaths to calm his fluctuating mind:

"Since it has been decided, without further ado, this seat will go back to the sect to deal with some affairs, and we will set off in half a month. At that time, you can also find a place in the Western Wilderness to protect the Dharma for you. By the way, what kind of Five Elements Liquid is missing?"

"Three liquids of Kaneki water."

"I'll bring it to you in half a month."

"Thank you, Master."

"Jindan is there?"

"Yes, but only one."

"Well, your physique, one is not very safe, I will bring you another one in half a month."

"Thank you, Master." Chen Ping shouted.

"Hmph, now that the master is so diligent? It was as if he had offered to take you as a disciple and repay you for your loss." Fairy Xiyue sneered.

Chen Ping: ......

People can't, at least they shouldn't, hold grudges like that.
